Cordiality and warmth welcoming traveller at last (5)
I believe the answer is:
heart
'cordiality' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'warmth welcoming traveller at last' is the wordplay.
'warmth' becomes 'heat' (synonyms).
'welcoming' indicates putting letters inside (in sense of 'inviting in').
'at last' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'traveller' is 'r'.
'heat' going around 'r' is 'HEART'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heart that I've seen before include "one needs to beat" , "See 22" , "Blood-pumping organ" , "Nucleus" , "Crux" .)
